La Casa de Alberto open on National

A former Conejito’s Place employee has opened his own restaurant, La Casa de Alberto, at 624 W. National Ave.

That’s the former home of Terra Mexican restaurant, which moved to 600 S. 6th St.

Louis Alberto Gonzalez opened the restaurant about two weeks ago. Like Conejito's, it has a concise menu — guacamole ($4) and pico de gallo ($2) with chips for appetizers, and entrées such as four tacos ($5), three enchiladas with rice and beans ($5) and fajitas ($10 to $12).

On weekends, pozole ($6.50) and tamales ($2.50 each) are served.

La Casa de Alberto serves margaritas and imported and domestic beers.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

To contact: (414) 643-5715. La Casa de Alberto expects to announce a second grand opening celebration on Facebook in the coming weeks.
